Going by Bergevin's overall moves, the more you hear about it, the less likely it will be that it's the move he ends up making, in the end.
However, it just goes to show that there might not be many obvious, young, talented top-6 C that are currently underused and overpaid on a team with looming Cap trouble
If Bergevin manages to add a young, talented top-6 C for a reasonable price and that this player is someone that nobody saw coming, I just hope that people stop feeding the propaganda that Bergevin is a stupid person.
That's just mean and hateful for no reason.

Drouin's your guy, I have close to no doubts at this point that he's the one they think has the potential to be that center.
Right on let's ruin him too instead of just using him in the way that he has been used since junior.
Total habs move.
That's fine and reasonable but will the fans on the opposite side of spectrum admit that we may be lacking in management , if RNH is traded for a mediocre package?
Isn't this exactly what happened with Chucky?
Drouin at least played at center his entire last year in Junior where he managed to get 108 points in only 46 GP and 41 points in 16 GP in the PO.
Chucky didn't even play center in Sarnia before making the jump...
Chucky did play C in Sarnia before making the jump, but only for large parts of one season, if I'm not mistaken. That was the year that he played with Yakupov on his RW.

You mean, to another team, right? Or by mediocre, did you mean that Montreal overpaid, like Galchenyuk and Lehkonen for RNH, for example?
You've been bashing Galchenyuk's center game for months.. but there's NO DOUBT in your mind Drouin is our next number 1 center? You're being very dishonest here.
Drouin is just as unreliable as Galchenyuk defensively. Has less experienced than Galchenyuk at Center. Has worst face-off% than Galchenyuk.
I'm pretty sure Galchenyuk's production is actually better at C than wing and the team record is also better when he played C.
I actually don't mind to see Drouin being tried at C but it just make me laugh that you don't hold Drouin with the same standards as Galchenyuk.
I love Drouin but he's not perfect.. far from it. He produced a lot of points on the PP but he was a "risky" player. He liked to dangle with the puck and will often lose it eventually. Those are the things you keep using the bash Galchenyuk and Subban.. but suddendly Drouin is the perfect guy for you at 1st C..
Lots of Kovalev comparaison on the Bolts board. ******** of talent but lots of irresponsible turnover. Personally I don't mind that that's why I like Kovy, PK, Drouin, AG... but historically you seem to hate players like that so it does sound like you're only ignoring all those facts just because Drouin was recently brought by MB.

I wouldn't move those picks for Bozak- that package is close enough to get us RNH that it wouldb be a waste

If Drouin will struggle as much as Chucky at center I'm going to bash his play also don't you worry buddy.
All I'm arguing here is that I can see Drouin being that center we're waiting for.
Hell, I didn't even completely eliminate the possibility Chucky gets his **** together and becomes a reliable center. He just needs to get a clue defensively.
Drouin barely played center at the NHL level so on what exactly are you basing your comments about his reliability at center?
Of course another team. Meaning if he gets traded for something worth less than Gallagher and a pick.
He very well could be and I hope they try him. I just wouldn't bank everything on it. We need a decent 2C at the very least. Wonder if Kouvu or Staal become available.
